I Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 200

Normally, when something happens to their child, a normal parent would be worried.

It’s a natural instinct as a living creature. This is true whether human or beast.

However, what if that incident was caused by another?

What if that incident separated them from their child?

The "rage" of a parent who lost their child would be beyond imagination.

And right now, seeing their lost child in a strange place together with some weird creature, what would the parent think?

"Grrrrr..."

"...."

I didn’t know what it was thinking, but I knew damn well that I was completely fucked.

I lost my words looking at the ruby eye taking up more than half the cave.

For a moment, thinking the world had gone wrong, I rubbed my eyes several times, but it remained the same.

That eye looking like it would tear me apart right this instant.

It was terrifying enough to make me wet my pants on the spot.

’M-My body won’t move...’

They say most animals freeze when faced with unimaginable terror.

Humans, having clear ’reason’, could overcome it, but that was a story for a minority.

Right now, anyone meeting the gaze filling the cave would feel primal terror.

It could truly be called ’cosmic horror’. An absolute terror one couldn’t resist.

Slither- Slither-

The eye that had been staring at me for a while began to thoroughly inspect the cave’s interior.

Every time the eye moved, my body flinched on its own.

Before long, the dragon’s gaze fixed onto a certain spot.

I immediately realized where the dragon’s gaze was directed.

’B-Bbareumbo? When did he get here?’

It was Bbareumbo, who had woken up without me even realizing it. Bbareumbo stood boldly in front of the dragon.

The dragon also narrowed its eyes as if thinking, ’What is this guy?’

Scratch- Scratch-

Regardless, Bbareumbo leisurely scratched his back. Is he not scared even after seeing that?

The dragon engaged in a staring contest with Bbareumbo for a long time before shifting its gaze elsewhere.

Then, its gaze stopped precisely at the spot where the hatchling was. The vertically slit pupils narrowed even further.

’I-It won’t harm us, right? I even healed it and took good care of it.’

The hatchling was sound asleep on top of Wonmo’s back, completely unaware that its parent had arrived.

Still, upon realizing that its baby was fine, the dragon’s vertically slit eyes softened slightly.

"Phew!"

At the same time, the pressure suffocating my body also released. Once freed from the pressure, I let out a deep sigh.

It was a pressure completely incomparable to the saber-toothed tiger. I felt like I had forgotten how to breathe.

"Grrk."

The dragon tilted its head.

It seemed to intend for me to wake up the hatchling sleeping so comfortably.

I immediately caught on to its intention and complied as instructed.

"Hey! Hey! Wake up! Your mom is here!"

"Piiii...?!"

"Kyuu...?"

"...?"

While I frantically woke the hatchling, Wonmo and Ludwig slowly woke up as well.

They all had half-asleep expressions, but sensing the strange current, they turned their heads toward the entrance.

"Kyuaaaak!!!"

Wonmo jumped in shock so hard that all the fur on his body stood on end.

"...."

And Ludwig froze solid, just like I had.

Those were the normal reactions. Then what about the hatchling?

"Ppii? Ppiiiiiii!"

Just looking at the eyes, it must have instinctively known it was its mother, running over with a joyful face.

Seeing its wings fluttering, it was definitely delighted.

Swoosh-

As the hatchling went outside, the dragon’s eye also vanished.

With the ruby eye filling the entrance gone, I felt like I could finally breathe.

"Kyuuuuu... Kyuu...."

Even with the eye gone, Wonmo was trembling while clinging to my leg.

Seeing tear drops forming in his eyes, he was extraordinarily startled.

I felt like crying right now myself, so how much more terrified must the baby Wonmo be?

I picked Wonmo up and patted his back to calm him down.

Relying heavily on me, Wonmo hugged me with his small forepaws.

"...."

"...Let’s go outside for now."

I spoke to Ludwig, nodding toward the entrance.

Ludwig looked at me with a gaze asking if that was really okay.

Staying here wouldn’t change anything anyway.

If the dragon intended to attack, we’d die without being able to lift a finger.

’There’s no need to provoke it needlessly, so I should leave my weapons behind.’

With a single breath attack, this entire area would be annihilated.

Even if I struggled, it wouldn’t change much.

I wanted to pin my hopes on Bbareumbo, but not fighting was the best option.

With that, I stepped out of the cave, completely tense. Before I knew it, Bbareumbo had climbed onto my back.

"Ppi-ppi! Ppiii!"

"Grrrr."

Oh, dear lord.

The moment I stepped outside, I gasped in shock at the dragon that met my eyes.

I knew it was big ever since its eye filled half the cave entrance, but it was far too huge.

Just its height alone required me to tilt my head back, and a single foot occupied the entire yard of the Shelter.

Even the word "giant" was insufficient. A fight wouldn’t even be possible.

Fortunately, it had avoided the structures; otherwise, the animal shelters I built with great effort would have collapsed.

I felt like I would never get used to the situation of an apartment-sized grey mass standing right in front of me.

"Woooo..."Read the latest chapters at novelping dot com.

"Kwooong..."

It was while I was staring blankly at the dragon. An familiar sound reached my ears.

Turning my head, Lackey and Largo were clinging to each other, trembling violently.

I didn’t know why those two, who should be inside their home, were outside, but there was a high probability it was because of the dragon.

The primal fear welling up in front of an overwhelming size. No matter how brave an animal was, it couldn’t be helped.

’...Let’s take a picture first.’

I raised my head and took a picture of the dragon.

Thanks to Lackey and Largo trembling right beside it, comparing the size was easy.

Of course, because the scale was so surreal, it gave the illusion that perspective had broken down.

Anyway, setting size aside, checking how that dragon would react was the priority.

"Ppi-ppi! Ppiii!"

"...."

As the hatchling shouted something, the dragon turned its head and stared at me.

Narrowing its eyes, it seemed to be asking if that was true.

While patting Wonmo’s back, I didn’t avoid the dragon’s gaze.

I definitely wouldn’t harm the baby. I’m a peace-loving person.

They said dragons were as intelligent as humans, so this gesture should be enough.

Snort-

Fortunately, my gesture worked; the dragon merely snorted and did not cause any harm.

Honestly, its very existence was a hazard to us, but there was no need to say that out loud.

For now, my hope was that it would take the hatchling and leave.

"Ppiii~ Ppi-ppi~"

But why was this hatchling coming toward me?

Fluttering its small wings, it came hopping over.

Naturally, the dragon’s gaze moved along with the hatchling.

Flap! Flap!

Before long, fluttering its wings, the hatchling landed on top of my head.

It was enough to freeze my body, but I had no choice but to writhe at the pain that followed.

"Arrrrgh! M-My head! My hair is being pulled out!!!"

"Ppiiiik?!"

Perhaps because it was still a baby, its claws dug into my head.

Even if it was a baby, a dragon was still a dragon. Essentially, steel was driving into my head.

"Uuuuu..."

"...."

Wondering if I was bleeding, I touched my head and then looked up.

Did it know it did something wrong? The hatchling was sneakily gauging my reaction.

Its expression was even similar to that. You know, the expression dogs make when they do something wrong.

Rolling its eyes sideways to gauge the mood. Exactly like that.

’Surely it won’t get mad over this, right?’

If the hatchling was gauging my reaction, it was time for me to gauge the dragon’s reaction.

Fortunately, the dragon also seemed to recognize that the hatchling was in the wrong first and showed no particular reaction.

By the way, when on earth was it leaving? If it kept staying here like this, it’d be a headache.

"Um... aren’t you going?"

"...Grrrk."

At my question, the dragon gave a signal to the hatchling. A signal to go back.

Then, with a somewhat conflicted expression, the hatchling looked back and forth between me and the dragon.

Staying here would only make its parent worry, and it was a nuisance to me.

It was far better for both of them to just leave.

"Ppiii~"

Fortunately, the hatchling chose the dragon. Since it was still a kid, its mom’s arms were better.

Feeling somewhat bittersweet, I just patted the back of Wonmo, who was hugging me.

Wonmo also seemed to be calming down, enough to glance at the dragon.

"Kyuu. Kyu."

"...Wonmo?"

Why are you reaching your paw out toward the hatchling? You shouldn’t do that.

Whether I was flustered or not, Wonmo reached out to the hatchling. As if saying, ’Let me play a bit more.’

Whereupon the hatchling came to a sudden halt. Taking it a step further, it even stared intently at Wonmo.

Since this was a completely unexpected turn of events, even the dragon opened its eyes slightly wider.

"...Ppiii!"

"Kyuu?"

"Ppiii! Ppi!"

"Kyuuuu."

The two little ones communicating with each other.

I couldn’t understand what they were saying at all, but it gave a vibe of ’See you later.’

’I’ll go home for now. Then I’ll decide whether to come back or not.’

’Come back for what, damn it.’

Don’t come back. Please leave forever.

The kid is cute, but the parent is way too terrifying.

Was the stroke of luck in this misfortune that the parent wasn’t a Karen?

If it had thrown a tantrum too, I wouldn’t be here right now.

Flap! Flap!

Before long, the hatchling climbed onto the dragon’s head.

Once the hatchling settled, the dragon flapped its wings, which were much larger than its body.

And the aftermath was beyond imagination.

"Gaaaaah!"

"Uaaaaah!"

A terrifying gale blew through the Shelter. I almost got blown away.

I almost got blown away, so what about the tools nearby? They all flew away.

"...Grrn."

The dragon also didn’t seem to anticipate this outcome, showing an embarrassed reaction.

Yeah. You still have a shred of conscience left. What a relief.

Before long, the dragon vanished at high speed. It felt like a typhoon had swept through.

"Oh man. My Shelter..."

And it actually had.Follow the newest chapters on nov‌elping.com.

With just a single flap of its wings, the Shelter I had worked so hard to decorate turned into a mess.

Luckily, the brick house and the farm were intact.

Cooking utensils and tools flew away or disappeared.

"#%^$#"

Ludwig patted my shoulder at my gloomy muttering.

He seemed to be saying we were lucky to be alive, and that this was already a win.

I agreed, but I never dreamed it would bring about such a result.

"...Let’s just eat."

"%$."

It was a situation perfectly suited for the saying "a bolt out of the blue."

I barely managed to soothe the panicked Lackey and Largo, then set out to prepare food.

More than half of the fish I worked so hard to collect disappeared from the dragon’s wing flap.

Still, because the quantity itself was generous, it wasn’t dangerous.

Title) Hatchling’s mom came

Fuck. I almost pissed myself;;

That Kadir guy beat a monster like this? Is he insane?

L Heavenly Demon) It truly looks like a giant lizard. A lizard with wings.

L Sword Matstar) Try saying that in front of a dragon. Something fun might happen?

L Heavenly Demon) Why so?

L Sword Matstar) From what I’ve heard, dragons really hate being called lizards.

L Do dragons even have a concept of racial discrimination?

L As if. They aren’t even included in humanity in the first place.

L I heard dragons can polymorph too, is that false?

L That’s all BS. In myths maybe, but in reality they’re just monsters.

L Were there dragons even in the mythical era?

L Yep. The species the gods fought back then were dragons;

L Why did they fight?

L Holy shit, do I need to know even that?

L Lmao

L Lmaooo

L Starlight Lady) Were you hurt anywhere?

L Wild Grylls) No. Fortunately, it just left. I guess it was a creature that knows gratitude.

L Starlight Lady) What a relief. Setting everything else aside, I was startled because it was a dragon.

L I pissed myself just looking at the first pic.

L Grylls. Speak honestly. You leaked a bit, didn’t you?

L Wild Grylls) If I needed to pee, I probably would have.

L Makes me realize all over again how much of a lunatic Kadir is. He beat something like that?

L Allfather) From what I heard, the dragon was consumed by rage, making it easier to win. Therefore, its patterns were simple.

L How do you know that? Are you his friend?

L Necromancy is Love) It is because he is the party involved.

L Stop BSing lol

L Praise the Sun) So did the hatchling leave?

L Wild Grylls) Yes. Left together with its mom.

L Praise the Sun) Too bad. It was pretty cute. Ask them to send it over later.

L Wild Grylls) Are you crazy?;;

L What is this, a daycare? lmaooo

L Dragon: Please take good care of our kid.

L Future: My dad is very angry...

L Grylls in tears lmaooo

Praise the Sun said the most horrible thing in the world, but I easily ignored it.

It’s barely been one day. It’s only been a day, what kind of trust could have built up for it to come here?

It seemed to have gotten a bit friendly with Wonmo, but the dragon wouldn’t just watch with its eyes open.

’I should just clean up this morning.’

About two hours had passed since I started cleaning up like that.

Thinking of doing some farming for the remaining time, just as I was about to enter the cave.

Flap! Flap!

The sound of massive wingbeats reached my ears.

Along with this, the wind gradually began to pick up strength.

This subtle current seemed to be picked up not only by me, but by other people and animals as well.

With an anxious heart, as I tilted my head upward.

Whooooosh!!!

The dragon, boasting overwhelming grandeur, revealed its presence above us.

A size terrifying enough to cast a shadow over the entire Shelter.

Just as all the people and animals froze, stopping what they were doing.

"Ppiiiiiii!"

The hatchling, flapping its tiny wings, landed below.

Following that, with a bright face, it even stuck right onto my face.

Thanks to that, I snapped to my senses and barely pulled the hatchling off.

"Grrrn."

Flap!

Just as I couldn’t understand what on earth was going on, the dragon turned its body around.

It didn’t forget to send me a glance.

A silent signal that it had things to do, so please look after the hatchling in the meantime.

I stared blankly at the dragon receding into the distance, then quietly muttered.

"...Ma’am?"

When you enter, it’s at the ’child’s’ whim...

"Ma’am?!"

...but when you leave, it’s at the ’parent’s’ whim!

"Ma’am!!"

THIS ISN’T A DAYCARE!!
